[Verse 1]
               Am
I think I got numb

        F
For a while

       C
I was tired

                              Am
I was hurting and I'm not so sure

       F
I was good

      C
To myself

                           Am
I held on for longer than most

      F             C
I suppose, but so what?

                                   Am
Who's to say just what measure of time

     F            C
Is enough or too much

          C
I don't know man, I don't
[Chorus]
       Am
But I keep up appearances

 F                          C
Maybe things don't have to be so hard

                Am    F
I just have to fall apart

                      C
How tough could that be?

      C
Just make sure I give it some

 Am
Hard throated melodies

  F
Frankly and honestly

  C
Shake it out

                     Am      F
And yeah, it might break me down

              C
But no one's pain free
[Verse 2]
                 Am         F
I'm starting to hurt or to heal

      C                                        Am
I forget how to tell 'cause I'm stuck in this rut

      F           C
Of relief and of doubt

                                         Am
That's when things get all spun and spin out

       F            C
Of my hands and my head

                                  Am
And feelings that I thought were dеad

          F        C
Start to hurt me again

          C
I don't know how, I don't
[Chorus]
       Am
But I keep up appearances

 F                          C
Maybe things don't have to be so hard

[Verse 3]
              Am         F
I look at my self and I see

          C                                Am
Someone's eyes in the mirror and I wanna shout

           F              C
"That was me. Those were mine"

                              Am
But something about that's a lie

        F         C
That I lost over time

                               Am
And I just want to go back but I'm

        F            C
Not so sure that is wise

          C
I don't know man, I don't
